Free Writing Fonts For Cricut
The Cricut machine, when writing, will follow the same path it would if it was cutting. So most text will appear "hollow", or as a "bubble" You can avoid this by using a writing font in Cricut Design Space (Most cost around $5) OR, by choosing a free font thin enough that the lines "collapse on themselves" (Those are the fonts listed here). Although these are not truly free writing fonts, they are free fonts that will write without bubbling.

- Free Fonts that work with super fine markers (Pens like Bic or the Precise V5)
- Free Fonts that work with Medium Markers (Cricut, thick end of the Target Markers, Thick end of the Leisure Arts Markers, etc)

- More Writing Samples & Videos - a facebook photo album that includes fonts that did not work, and fonts that are free for a limited time only
Samples are all 0.8- 1inch tall.
(sometimes 1 inch tall makes the font more than 8 inches wide, in those cases, I shrink the height of the font, to make them all fit neatly on 8.5x11 inch paper)

Fonts That Will Write
at .5 inches Tall
The fonts above will all work at 1 inch tall, but there are more fonts that will work with these markers, if you are writing at half an inch tall or smaller.
Samples coming soon!
These are the "original" sample sheets, which I'm preserving because they were a lot of work originally, and they do show the fonts in different markers and in different arrangements. I'm finding a few fonts on these pages that I did miss in my redo, that may be because they write at .5 but not at 1 inch - I'll figure that out when I finish the .5 samples.
Fonts that Are listed below but not above include:
Fancy Pen, High Thin Light (Definitely only at .5)
Old Sample Sheets
I've redone all of my sample sheets on 8.5x11 paper, to display better, and you can right click on the image, download it, and print it, if you would like. All of those samples are above, in an almost alphabetical order.These are the "original" sample sheets, which I'm preserving because they were a lot of work originally, and they do show the fonts in different markers and in different arrangements.

How do I save or use these fonts with Design space? Thank you
ReplyDeleteFonts are installed to your device - download, unzip, install - then look for the font under system fonts. Hope that helps! There's a step by step with screenshots here - https://fieldsofhether.blogspot.com/2017/12/all-about-fonts-text-in-cricut-design.html
ReplyDeleteCan these fonts be used with the writing feature in Cricut? It's showing as a cutting font only.
ReplyDeleteAll of these fonts were downloaded by me, and the samples shown are above are me using them as writing fonts, with the pens. To change them to draw, go to the top left of design space and click on where it says cut, choose draw from the drop down menu. Good luck! :-)
DeleteHello! I was able to change to draw, however, it shows an outline of the text. Will it draw like that or be filled lines? Thank you!
DeleteThank you so much for this list! One of the things I was most excited about was writing with my maker...imagine my disappointment when I learned about the 'bubbling'! I appreciate your taking the time to make up this list for us!
ReplyDeleteCan you please help me find Free Puerto Rico and Spanish SVG'S?
ReplyDeleteYou are a god send! Thank you so very much for this list :D
ReplyDeleteFonts have baffled me for as long as I've had my Cricut. By golly, I think I understand now after reading your blog. Thanks so much! Love how you share your hard work of searching for us!
